It  surely  will  be  mine.

To  place  within  a  nest. 
It  has  been  hopping  all  around, 
And  now  it  wants  to  rest. 


6  My  ball  I  call  a  purple  plum. 

About  as  large  as  papa's  thumb. 
Inside  there  is  a  pit  for  me. 
To  plant  that  it  may  grow  a  tree. 

7  We'll  put  them  all  together  now, 

And  look  at  them  again  ; 
They're  something  like  the  rainbow  bright.

Boom,  tidera,  boom! 
With  some  of  her  pin-money  purchased  a  fife. 

Boom,  tidera,  boom  ! 
And  picking  out  tunes  that  were  not  very  hard. 
They'd  play  them  while  marching  around  the  back  yard, 
Without  for  one's  feelings  the  slightest  regard, 

Boom,  tidera,  boom ! 


5  And  all  of  the  people  for  miles  around. 

Boom,  tidera,  boom ! 
Kept  time  at  their  tasks  to  the  martial  sound. 

Boom,  tidera,  boom  ! 
While  children  to  windows  and  stoops  would  fly. 
Expecting  to  see  a  procession  pass  by, 
And  they  couldn't  make  out  why  it  never  drew  nigh, 

With  its  boom,  tidera,  boom ! 


4  The  little  old  parson,  who  lived  next  door. 

Boom,  tidera,  boom ! 
Would  throw  up  his  hands  as  he  walked  the  floor, 

Boom,  tidera,  boom ! 
"Won't  you  stop  it,  I  beg  you?"  he  often  said  ; 
"I'm  trying  to  think  of  a  text,  but  instead 
The  only  thing  I  can  get  into  my  head 

Is  your  boom,  tidera,  boom  1" 


6  It  would  seem  that  such  vigor  must  soon  abate 

Boom,  tidera,  boom ! 
But  still  they  keep  at  it,  early  and  late, 

Boom,  tidera,  boom ! 
So,  if  it  should  be  that  a  war  breaks  out, 
They'll  all  be  ready,  I  have  no  doubt, 
To  help  in  putting  the  foe  to  rout, 

With  their  boom,  tidera,  boom  1
